Danby kegerator tap mount replacement?

[NorthWes]

Hey folks; rehabbing a kegerator that was gifted to me and the shank in the tower LOOKS like some coating has stripped away leaving brass exposed?

thanks for any thoughts. I’m having a hell of a time finding a photo of what it SHOULD look like.

Does this need to be replaced? Soaked it in PBW over night and it cleaned up great.

I like stainless rather than brass.

Thanks, my intent is to do carbonated water to start; and I’ve heard that brass and carbonated water are a bad mixture do to some reaction?

Suppose I have some parts to procure

Since this kegerator was gifted to you replacing the old with new is a smart investment. Stainless steel sharks and taps will last a long time. I have five Perlicks I bought twenty plus years ago that work great.

Do you, or anyone have any recommendations on shanks that are compatible with PERLICK faucets?

Everywhere I look all I see is that the shanks for towers from INTERTAP are not compatible, but I’m not really finding very many other options

These are exactly what I bought for my 525 Perlick faucets. They come in different sizes, lengths, so measure what you need. Mine fit perfectly in a 3/4" wood. You'll need a tail piece, nut and gasket for the back side.
